Now and then it keeps you running It never seems to die The trail's spent with fear Not enough living on the outside Never seem to get far enough Staying in between the lines Hold on to what you can Waiting for the end Not knowing when May the wind take your troubles away May the wind take your troubles away Both feet on the floor, two hands on the wheel May the wind take your troubles away Trying to make it far enough To the next time zone Few and far between past the midnight hour Never feel alone, you're really not alone Switching it over to AM Searching for a truer sound Can't recall the call letters Steel guitar and settle down Catching an all-night station Somewhere in Louisiana It sounds like 1963 But for now it sounds like heaven May the wind take your troubles away May the wind take your troubles away Both feet on the floor, two hands on the wheel May the wind take your troubles away May the wind take your troubles away May the wind take your troubles away

Well I love that girl with all my heart* Yeah I love her more than anything But she told me yesterday To get the hell away I hope that was something she didn't mean Last week I tried to kiss her Oh it seemed like the right thing to do But she slapped me across the face And we went our separate way I turned around and screamed I still love you [Chorus:] Cause there's a long list of reasons Why I keep hangin' on I hope you all can see Just what she's doing to me I'm tired of her always treating me wrong I tried to call her on the phone Just hoping we could talk a little more She didn't like that at all She hung up and blocked my calls Now I can't reach her anymore She went out with some other guy I tried not to let it bother me It took the wind right out of my sails I got drunk and got in jail Now I'm as lonely as I can be Chorus: Cause there's a long list of reasons Why I keep hangin' on I think I'll sit right here And drink another beer Until the early morning dawn I got out of jail and saw her on the street I tried so hard to wave her down She just hopped into her truck Hit the gas and off the clutch She flipped me off as she was leaving town She packed up and she moved far away My friends say it was all because of me I don't think that's true I'll see her again real soon Cause I found out that she moved out to Abilene Chorus: There's a long list of reasons Why I keep hangin' on I think I'll sit right here And keep on drinkin' beer Until the early morning dawn Yeah I think I'll sit right here And keep on drinkin' them beers Until the early morning dawn
